Concluding 2024 with moving all Twitter data to my own web server and cleaning up the account. The archive with top tweets from 2014 to 2024 is a fun walk down memory lane with highlights of the evolution of the @GraalVM project. Happy New Year everybody!

@headius Can you share the setup? Would be interested to check if running on GraalVM in JIT mode makes any difference.

@FathmanJim It includes the classpath exception. Also, the GraalVM-based JavaScript engine is provided under UPL, which is a license similar (even more open) to BSD or MIT:

@headius @marcsavy JRuby should be one of the performance benchmarks for GraalVM. We are happy to use such benchmark to improve our optimizations. Bigger rewrites of JRuby or new optimizations only for JRuby are likely not worth the effort however. Truffle provides the necessary constructs already.

@headius @marcsavy You associate above Truffle with a “non-free, closed-source” runtime, conveniently overlooking the fact that TruffleRuby is a 100% open source project with great performance running on GraalVM CE or the latest standard OpenJDK 11 build. JRuby btw also runs faster with GraalVM EE.

@headius @marcsavy Fine to support existing users. I am just forecasting that our open source Ruby stack will be ready for the first production deployment soon. Competition is great. Just don’t spread FUD re licensing or technical readiness.

@headius @marcsavy Also, the fully open source stack of TruffleRuby plus #GraalVM Community Edition handily beats JRuby in terms of performance.

@kbucek @grashalm_ @headius No. It would be a lost opportunity to reject a promising new approach like Truffle without any technical merit. The TruffleRuby team contributed all their code to JRuby and only split when it became clear that the JRuby team rejects the Truffle technology.

@headius No, it does support them when they can be resolved at image generation time.

@bmeurer @MHablich @arstechnica Then we have again every vendor trying to make their engine look best by subsetting. We need joint effort.
